RAFINHA BACK TO SÃO PAULO?

Rafinha played for Flamengo between 2019 and 2020 and left the Most Beloved heading to Olympiacos (GRE). Soon after, the former full-back returned to Brazil to play for Grêmio, São Paulo, and finally, Coritiba.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION WITH FLAMENGO?

While São Paulo plans for 2026, Flamengo remains focused on the final stretch of the 2025 season. Thus, the red-black team faces Sport on Saturday (15th), at 6:30 PM (Brasília time), at Arena de Pernambuco, for the 12th round of the Brazilian Championship.
